Thing # 4 Content Area Tools: Thinkfinity

Well, Thinkfinity is a great go-to resource when looking for new things.  Sometimes when I google something, I end up with no way of knowing what is going to be good or what I am looking for.  This seems to be a good first step for content for students.  I didn't find anything on ABA but some cool things on differentiation which it one of our focus areas this school year.  I just did a presentation on this for PD using Robin Fogarty information on differentiation.  I wanted to add a video but the  only one I found was too negative.  Here is a link to several I could have used.  The first one is neat.  Check out the rap to see what fun people teachers really are!

A second thing I like on Thinkfinity is ReadThinkWrite.  I  think the essay map would be good for my third grade niece as well as my 10th grade son.  I neat thing they had is a cartoon maker.  I made a cartoon and couldn't save it--only print it so I can't share it here but this is the link:
